My name is Debbie Brandenburg and I live in Florissant, Missouri with my beloved husband, John, and our 5 children. I have been homeschooling our 7+ children for 20 years now. The Lord directed us to begin homeschooling in 1985--before it was actually "legal" in the state of Missouri. The changes that have incurred over that period of time are astonishng! And yes, it is difficult to live a 1-income lifestyle in a 2-income world, but the rewards in our relationships with our children, and the education that they received far outweighs any of the struggles along the way. Our 2 oldest are in graduate school; our next 3 are working on their undergraduate studies; and the "homeschooling" children in our home this year are a senior in High school, an 8th grader, and a 4th grader. Having done this for awhile, I would love to be of help to any out there. And I am also looking forward to getting advice and help from you dear ladies--we can each grow together. Looking forward to getting to know you..._________________Debbie Brandenburg: Blessed wife of John and mother to 7+ children; and the owner and author of BrandenburgStudies--G.A.
